Thundelarra (ASX:THX) has started drilling the Ox-Eyed Herring and Tarpon prospects at its wholly-owned Allamber Project in the Pine Creek region, Northern Territory.

It will also carry out a small 400 metre drilling program at its Copperfield Project, which is close to the district’s largest historical gold mine, Enterprise.

Enterprise and other various other small operations around Pine Creek produced more than 750,000 ounces of gold between 1985 and 1995.

At Allamber, the company has collared the first of five reverse circulation holes totalling 1,000 metres.

The program’s objectives are:

- To target extensions of the copper mineralisation already identified at Ox-Eyed Herring and Tarpon;- To explore for possible feeders for that mineralisation; and- To test gravity targets that are of interest, as several circular features are recognisable.

At Copperfield, the two planned reverse circulation holes will test copper and gold potential on two prominent shears with anomalous geochemistry, close to the old Enterprise Gold Mine.

Allamber Project

The wholly-owned Allamber Project is approximately 180 kilometres southeast of Darwin and is part of the Pine Creek Orogen.

It is very well served by regional infrastructure, with sealed road, rail, and a gas pipeline running within 25 kilometres of the project area.

Proactive Investors Australia is the market leader in producing news, articles and research reports on ASX emerging companies with distribution in Australia, UK, North America and Hong Kong / China.

All targets were ranked by evaluating the geology, geochemistry, geophysics data as well as access to the prospect areas and identification of relevant landowner groups.

Future work programs will utilise this ranking and target those areas most likely to deliver an economic deposit.

Ryan Mount, chief executive officer, said:

“With momentum accelerating on our Isabel Nickel Project towards mine development by the end of the year, it was timely to undertake a technical review of the West Guadalcanal Project.

“We interrogated our current datasets as well as historical works to provide a regional geological interpretation of merged datasets - this has helped us identify and rank prospects to provide focus for future exploration work.”

Drilling Details

Drill holes HVDD010 and HVDD011 collared in East Taho were designed to test the down dip extension of anomalous mineralisation in a trench with significant results (23 metres at 0.95g/t gold and 21.7g/t silver) and target the porphyry 60 metres east of drill hole HVDD003.

Black Mountain Resources (ASX:BMZ) is entering the salvage business with its securing an option to take a 20% interest in a company planning to explore shipwrecks off the Irish coast for gold and silver coins and bullion.

It has also restructured debt, is taking steps to inject new capital and commence silver drilling at its Conjecture Mine in Nevada.

The salvage expedition seeks to initially recover major gold and silver cargoes from two British passenger ships sunk during World War I.

The two initial targets are believed to hold 1.3 million ounces of gold and 482,000 ounces of gold respectively.

A third target of approximately 6.35 million ounces of silver is available time permitting.

Black Mountain will commit an initial expedition amount of $2 million to identify the potential gold cargo of the SS Arabic.

Upon a successful discovery of any cargo, the company has negotiated a draw down facility to fund the option of an additional $2 million investment required to earn the 20%.

The company has raised $179,000 through a placement of shares priced at $0.01 and is currently finalising its convertible note raising of $2.24 million.

A key part of the company’s restructuring is agreement with the major creditors to either convert their current debts into equity as part of the proposed capital raising ($2 million conversion and a further $1 million convertible at the company’s election upon a successful discovery) or quarantine the debt against the company’s interest in its second silver project, New Departure.
